Hughes internet service

Yes! I am having the same issue w/ HughesNet, I tries to cancel almost 2wks ago because as you said that suck!, the entire yr I've had them I have had issues with the service, like not even being able to watch a 15sec video on my phone w/o it buffing 5 times, or if I try to stream a movie (that is less than 2hrs long) & it buffing 52 times & just shutting off 3times (& yes I counted it), I have tried to get this resolve 6 times in the past yr yet it never gets fixed, each time I have spoke w/someone they tell me it has been corrected but the sec I hang up it goes right back to the way it was, this last time I calld I wanted to cancel & got that BS that I signed up for a 24mth contract... OH NO I DIDNT! & I have every email & paper provided by Hughesnet & NONE of them state anything about 2yrs... I spoke w/a Sup that stated that it would be a $265.00 cancellation fee & the s&h fee for return of equipment, states they need to do everything under their trouble shooting before it could be cancelled, told him fine I would give it 1 more week for them to get it completely fixed, he stated it would take 24 hrs for it to reset & he would call me the following day every hr until he was able to speak w/me to go thru the trouble shot, I told him if it wasn't corrected this time it will be cancelled w/o ANY type of fees & he agreed... he never called (& thur will be 2wks) I received a survey on that call & gat bad rating yet still have not received a call... THIS [censored] WILL BE CANCELLED TONIGHT!

Hughes Satellite does not work

I am a senior citizen, disabled vet, on a fixed income. I could of chose any company but I chose Hughenet. Two hours after installation I realized I made a big mistake. Internet was so slow it wouldn't load any Apps. The installer failed to install the router close to the TV, so I could not connect directly. Hours after install I called tech support, Paul from Brownsville Tx. He failed to follow up and lied to me. Called the next day talked to Christianson who told me that if I wanted a installer to come out I would have to pay for him out of my pocket. Im a customer for hours and this is how you treat me. I've been scammed. Shame on you, my next contact is the Attorney Generals Office for crrimes against the elderly.

Hughes internet services

My phone has not worked since I changed internet providers. It has been working properly for years with the previous provider. I am not able to use my phone at home now. Please resolve! I can make calls but the person on the other end cannot hear me at all. Up until now I have never had a problem and this has been going on ever since I changed to HughesNet.

Hughes service representative

I truly have no other options for internet in my location. I had to make a choice, given that I could not afford everything that I wanted. I chose internet and looked around and Hughes Net was my only simple option. I called and proceeded to go through the process and give my information. The rep, it seemed to me, spoke quite fast and munmbling it was hard to tell what exactly he was saying. Which is no problem. It's usual with "salesman" of the sort. I ran into a problem when he asked me the final question as to whether or not process my order and set the install in motion. I made the mistake of not hearing or understanding that the first months charge would be taken today. Some companies take out a small amount to check the payment card and the first month would be taken the following month, especially with a lot of these promotional offers. When I told him that I couldn't pay because the funds wouldn't be available today he basically told me I was lying and asked the real reason. Then told me he only told me 3 separate times. I had said to him that he was speaking fast and he rejected that and stated he spoke slowly and clearly. At one point he laughed out loud. I understand that if I misheard and misunderstood something. No problem, but for that rep to act and talk to me the way he did has made it clear in my head that I don't think I will need Hughes net. I read some of the complaint comments before I decided to compose this, and again a moderator named Amanda was awfully passive aggressive. Iv worked as a phone rep for Xbox. I get that customers aren't always right. Half of them maybe idiots, but at the end of the day, it's you who wants OUR money. That deserves respect at some level. Sean the rep isn't doing his job on a professional level. For that Hughes net will lose my minute business.

Hughes internet speed and phone

Hughesnet is so slow and you are unable to play any games either on the computer or an IPad. Started in September and every month I have had to purchase tokens and am unable to play any of our games. We totally lost internet and phone a few weekends ago, no offer to comp for loss. I am getting tired of the slowness to the point that I am willing to pay to cancel them!

Hughes internet

My tv/internet bill was getting too high so I saw an offer combining Dish and Hughes net for a better price. When I ordered it I was told that it would meet my needs. ( I live on my own and believed my requirements were small). Since then I have had consistent performance problems and was unable to stream TV episodes or movies. I struggled more than a year and called a few times. Finally customer service admitted that they could not provide what I needed. I reverted to Spectrum and canceled Hughesnet. They immediately disconnected me and said I would be charged for remainder of the cycle - another 30 days and I am being charged a cancelation fee of $325.
This is entirely unacceptable and I dispute it for the following reasons:
- I was assured at the outset that performance would be fine. I was leery but the assurance made me comfortable. Clearly I have been misled. Hughes are duty bound to be honest about there product.
- only in the last month has customer service finally admitted that the product would not do the job. Why could they not have been honest at the beginning?
- now they want to penalize me with a cancelation fee for quitting a product that. By their own admission, could not do the job.
- in addition, they want to charge for another 30 days of use even though they have disconnected my service. How can they charge for something that is not available?

The whole thing is unfortunate and I have been patient. Account management completely ignored me and refused accommodate me. However if common sense and fairness can prevail, Hughes should waive these charges

Hughes cancellation fee

When I signed up it was through a sister company that works with HughesNet. I told the man I live on a fixed income an he found a promotion that would provide me internet and phone for $80 monthly. First month in my bill was $107.48. When I called to complain I was told that was the price and it was going to cost me $500 to cancel the service.

How come they can get away with breech of contract for not delivering what they promise. When I want to cancel due to the agreed terms were Not upheld $80.00 monthly. I am held liable for charges to cancel service for which they did not deliver. When I agreed to HughesNet is was all verbal how can they deceive the public like this?

Hughes service

I just recently moved to a rural area and had read reviews about HughesNet but it was the only internet I could get. So I bought the equipment (450) and paid the installation fee (250) and bit my tongue praying it would all be ok. Not a chance, got the service Aug 27, 2018 and the first month was just fine.. of course because I find out that the first month they don't give you any problems.. then BAM the first billing cycle hits and I'm out of data in 4 days. I call and they say that if you have any of your devices connected to WiFi it eats up data. Righttt.. I've been at 0% data not since Oct 1. I can't work from home, thank God I have my ATT Iphone to use for everything, but it works better than the internet at only 1 bar! I contacted HughesNet several times asking about cancelation and wanting to skip the 400 cancelation fee. They won't. I'm ready to fight this! I'm on board!

Hughes satellite internet service

This is a SCAM, and Dish Network is promoting it as being their Internet Service. But have a complaint and contact Dish and they will say they have nothing to do with them... I had DISH employer install Hughes Net, and have never been so dissatisfied with a service...I had it for not quite 2 months...My husbands job depends on sending reports through the internet, and we would sit for hours waiting for the service...then when I said it wasn't working for us, they said they would disconnect me, but I would be charged the 400. for the contract of 2 years of service that I signed with them. Why would I want their service if It was unavailable for use...I even up'd my service contract with them to the highest megabits that they supply, that also cost more, and was still not enough for my household. Now they sent me a box to return all their equipment, and if not returned with in 21 days of the last bill, I will be charged another 300. The FCC needs to have a little more insight into bogus companies such as Hughes Net. When I called Dish to complain on this matter they said they have nothing to do with it and to contact Hughes Net. REALLY?

Hughes disconnection and charges

on 8/8/18 I contacted Hughes Net to let them know that my internet was not working, I was not able to stream even YouTube and they did some technical support to see if they could fix it; they asked me to try it for a few weeks and call back if there was still an issue. On 9/4 I called back again as I was having the same issues and the tech on the phone tried some tech support again to fix the issue. Both phone calls on 8/4 and 9/4 the tech told me everything was working and I had to resolution. On 9/4 when I spoke to the tech/csr I was told to try it for a few more weeks; at this time I asked if I was getting the same results if I could cancel my contract with no fees; I was told by the tech/csr that if the issue did not resolve that I could call back and cancel my contract without any fees and return my equipment. When I called today 10/3/18 the csr/tech asked me to go through all the testing again after I explained that I was just calling to cancel service and that I was told I would not be changed a termination fee. The csr/tech made me go through the 'testing' and would not cancel or credit me as he stated that 'was a solution' and that because of this 'solution' I would be charged a termination fee. This solution was to have a tech come to my home and replace equipment which should have been offered to me the first two times I called but was not. This call today was to cancel my service; after speaking with the csr/tech I also spoke to a supervisor named Pito who canceled my service and is sending me a box to ship the items back but would not waive my termination fee; nor did he take payment for the balance of the current bill of $61.55.

I want the termination fee of $400.00 waived as I feel that I did what I was asked, though I wanted to disconnect on 9/4. Had they canceled my subscription on 9/4 I would have fallen within your terms and conditions and not been charged (though I was promised I would not be).

Hughes hughes net

When my husband signed us on with Hughes Net, he explained to them that we needed something that worked for our family. We watch Netflix, our boys play PS4 and I play online MMORPGs. She said that thier service would work with all that. Boy were we highly lied to. They charge way too much for garbage internet. Netflix will sit there and load for a few minutes, play a few minutes, then buffer every 5 minutes or so. I get disconnected from my games pretty regularly if I can log on at all. Our boys get frustrated cause they lag out constantly. How is this company even still alive? Not at all as it's advertised. This service would be ok for someone that checks thier email or just surfs the web only. For anything else, it's worthless.

Hughes cancellation fee as well as rude, rude, rude customer service

I cancelled my HughesNet service a couple weeks ago as I was having trouble working from home using VPN. I've had HughesNet over 2 years, but was still charged a cancellation fee of $80 because at one point during that 2 years, I upgraded to the Gen 5 Modem, which in the end was a waste of money cause it did nothing for me but cost more $. Rudest customer service ever encountered when I finally got through on the phone to cancel, I was on hold for over 15 minutes. Once the representative got on, I told him right off the bat that I did not want this to be a long, drawn out process. 5 minutes in, he wanted to try some solutions for my VPN. I told him again, I don't have the time for this right now, please just cancel my service. He informed me it had only been 5 minutes. Errr! Then he told me about the $80 charge, that was BS. Then he informed me that a kit would come in the mail to send back the modem and the transponder off the dish. When I asked him if that was all included in the instructions, he said yes, doesn't look too hard. He doesn't know my situation. Me getting on the roof, disconnecting the transponder, I could be a senior citizen or disabled, that would not be easy for me. I'm sorry, that was very rude. I've kissed that $80 goodbye, but wanted to file this complaint because I will never be a customer of HughesNet again.

Hughes internet and customer service

We have had nothing but problems with our HughesNet since we started living in our house full time, 6 weeks after installation. Of course, since we did not know the service was going to be bad within the first 30 days, we are now stuck in a contract and forced to change our lifestyle because we use our available 20GB in less than 1 week. During the short time that we have full speed, we still have issues with videos and websites loading. I am not available to sit on the phone for them to "trouble shoot" for hours each time we have issues, nor was I aware that I needed to call every time we have issues for them to believe me. The only solution provided was to upgrade us to 30GB for the same price as 20GB, but after 1 day of being home with my sick son and streaming Netflix we apparently used 16 GB and are now out of data for the month so have been reduced to the slower speed for the remaining 25 days of our billing cycle. It is absolutely terrible customer service to make someone believe a certain plan will be sufficient, lock them into a service that is not sufficient for them, with the only option to get out being to pay hundreds of dollars. The manager I spoke with this evening had an argumentative tone with me the moment she picked up the line and did nothing but interrupt me and blame me for knowing what I was getting into and what the contract stated and the best she could do was drop my cancellation fee by $155. That is simply not an acceptable way to treat customers.

Hughes internet

Terrible connection speed & internet is always slow. As a HughesNet customer, I'm very unhappy with the service that I'm paying for. The internet doesn't work half the time. I have called several times & the problem has yet been resolved. I have been disconnected several times & was assured that someone would be calling me back. As of today, that hasn't happened. This is unacceptable & poor customer service. There has been poor support & poor communication from the customer service.

Your assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Sandra Brown

Hughes gen 5

I am totally displeased with the Gen 5 that was told to me by HughesNet representative. I can not watch YouTube, it has to be set at 144p to get download. Facebook videos will not load and have to stop watching it. All in all it sucks to pay for something that doesn't meet or exceed your expectations. I've only had HughesNet for 12 days and want to get rid of it.

Hughes be warned before signing up with hughesnet

I used HughesNet over three years, even paying a vacation fee while we built a home and wasn't using their internet so I could stay in my contract. Then when we started up, they changed me from Gen4 to Gen5 without explaining that I was signing up for a new contract. Service was suppose to be faster which it wasn't, pure gimmick. Upload especially was awful. Choose another internet provider where you'll be served better. I'm glad I'm out if their unethical company.

Hughes poor performance of internet service since 2/2018 installation.

Performance issues reported by me and unresolved by service technician who told us that other customers were complaining about the same problems and that the company was selling services that they could not support in our area. I called to cancel our service on AUGUST 6, 2018 and requested a refund of all service fees that we had paid since February 2018, approximately $300. As a professional counselor, I told the company that I needed internet service to support Skype sessions to support my clients and was assured by Hughes Network that I would be able to Skype with my clients. At times, I could not start the or maintain the Skype sessions with unstable internet signal. When I called to cancel my service for poor performance, I requested a refund of all previous payment and company agreed to waive early termination fees in settlement. Charges continued to be billed and company claims I reactivated service in a call to them on August 15. I did call HughesNet on August 15 but did not activate my internet service. At that time, We had already physically removed HughesNet equipment and had Viasat internet operating in our home. I have spend hours on the phone with their customer service people and want the nightmare to end.

At this point, I will not pay the company any amount and want the company to send me a letter acknowledging closure of my account.

About Hughes

Screenshot Hughes
Hughes Network Systems, commonly known as HughesNet, is a provider of satellite-based internet services. The company caters to customers across the United States, particularly those in rural and remote areas where traditional broadband services are limited or unavailable. HughesNet's primary offering is its satellite internet service, which utilizes geostationary satellites to deliver internet connectivity to subscribers.

The service is known for its availability, as it can reach locations beyond the reach of cable and DSL. HughesNet offers various plans that differ in data allowances and speeds, designed to accommodate the varying needs of its customer base. These plans come with a built-in feature called the "Bonus Zone," which provides users with additional data to use during off-peak hours.

In addition to internet services, HughesNet also provides business solutions tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises. These solutions include business-grade high-speed internet and additional features such as enhanced security and business support.

HughesNet's equipment typically involves a satellite dish and a modem, which are required for the connection to the satellite network. Installation is conducted by certified professionals, and the company provides customer service and technical support to assist with any issues or questions that may arise.

While satellite internet is generally not as fast as fiber or cable, HughesNet's service is designed to support common online activities such as browsing, emailing, and social media engagement. However, due to the nature of satellite communication, there may be higher latency compared to other types of internet connections, which can affect real-time online activities like gaming or video conferencing.

Customers considering HughesNet should evaluate their internet needs and geographical location to determine if satellite internet is the most suitable option for them.
